I'm not sure what to think. Attrition is definitely preferable to layoffs - but the public service has already declined so much since 2013.
Privatizing long-term care is fine with me. The Feds are content to let it go, so we can't hold out against creeping privatization alone.
The cut to teaching positions is really just a rearrangement with the addition of more teachers. I'm not sure why they marketed it as they did - probably to preempt any opposition response.
